how do you make rice and beans?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Rice:
Saute 1 cup in a pan with oil or butter, plus salt and spices or garlic. After the rice is glistening (1 minute or so) add two cups water. Bring to a boil. Cover with lead and reduce heat to low for 15 minutes. Then turn off heat for last 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Beans:
pick over and Soak Beans over night in amply amount of water and nothing else. In the morning, quarter 1 large onion and crush two cloves of garlic. Drain the beans, pour your beans into a slow cooker and add water to cover by an inch or two. Turn on to high for 8 hours, add the onions, garlic cloves, and a bay leaf.

once the beans have fully cooked, you can prepare them with any combination of spices or oils you want. For mexican beans, I suggest having garlic powder, chili powder, cumin and cinnamon in you pantry. Reserve the starchy cooking water: It is handy when you need to control the moisture level of the cooked beans.

For extra credit, saute some summer squash and zucchini with olive oil. Garnish with a leafy herb and mix it into your rice.

super simple instant deliciousness. Just remember that beans need to be planned a day ahead.

Well if you want plain rice, you would just put the amount of rice you want, say you have one cup, in twice the amount of boiling water. So that would be two cups of water. When the water starts boiling, make sure you add some salt (to taste) and some oil. The cooking oil will prevent the rice from sticking to each other. When the water starts boiling and you add the rice, put the heat down a little. Leave the rice to cook for about 20-30 minutes with the cover on the pan. It differs according to the type of rice you use, so make sure you try a spoon (to see if it's ready) before you completely turn off the heat.

There are many types of beans you can make. With rice, I prefer kidney beans. To cook them I start off with some onion and oil in a frying pan. When the onion starts turning brown, you add garlic (which has been cut up into really small cubes). Then, when that starts turning brown, then i add the spices I feel like using. (Make sure you keep stirring it so it doesn't burn or stick to the pan). Then I add a little bit of water. Like about 1/4 of a cup. Stir it and let it cook for like 2-3 minutes. Then add the kidney beans. And make sure you have them completely submerged in water. It will take a while to cook this, it's not a 10 minute recipe.

This is a Southeast Asian recipe.

Good Luck and Bon Appetite! :)

Wow....from which country?
Every country has their specific rice and bean recipe.
I personally love Haitian beans and rice.
You basically fry a couple pieces of bacon, then add cooked rice and (I use pinto) beans, then lots of fresh thyme and hot pepper and garlic and onions. I crave it all the time.

If you want cajun red beans and rice, any of Justin Wilson's recipes are great.
Black beans & rice? Look for a recipe online for moros y cristianos.

Slice up some smoked sausage (ekerage beef), while frying sausage add onions and green peppers to saute. Remove excess oil from pan and add one can tomato sauce and two cans dark red kidney beans. Add bay leaves and parcely. Cook one hour while preparing boiled rice. That's all there is to that.

Here's my recipe

Cook your Red Kidney Beans in one pot; cook you rice in another, and put them together. Add abundant olive oil, salt to taste, and enjoy.

You take some rice. Then you take some beans. After that you put them together.
